Professional Fire Risk Assessments for Industrial Premises

A suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment is fundamental to managing fire safety within a factory. Manufacturing environments can involve machinery, electrical equipment, heat-producing processes, combustible materials, flammable substances and substantial storage areas, creating a range of potential fire hazards. A competent assessment helps identify significant risks, consider everyone who may be affected and establish whether existing precautions provide appropriate protection.

At Safe I.S., we provide detailed Fire Risk Assessments tailored to the processes, layout and operational requirements of individual factories. Our qualified assessors systematically evaluate potential hazards, people at risk, means of escape, existing fire safety measures and management arrangements before providing clear, prioritised recommendations. This gives Responsible Persons a practical basis for managing risk and making informed improvements.

All of our fire risk assessors are registered with the National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR) at either Intermediate or Advanced level, while Safe I.S. is third-party accredited to the BAFE SP205 scheme. This provides transparent, independently verified assurance that your assessment is being completed by appropriately qualified professionals and a trusted fire safety specialist.

Institute of Fire Safety Manager, National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR)

The National Fire Risk Assessors Register (NFRAR) is a national, publicly available register of competent fire risk assessors whose qualifications have been independently verified against a defined industry standard. As a Responsible Person or duty-holder, you can use the official NFRAR website to check registered assessors and their declared competence level before commissioning a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA).

NFRAR recognises three competence levels, Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced, which correspond to the complexity and risk profile of the buildings each assessor is qualified to assess.

To achieve registration, assessors must provide supporting evidence, including recent FRAs, maintain appropriate Continuing Professional Development (CPD), hold suitable professional indemnity or public liability insurance, and meet professional conduct requirements.

All our fire risk assessors are registered with NFRAR at either Intermediate or Advanced level. Combined with our BAFE SP205 accreditation, this provides transparent, verifiable assurance that the assessor and business you commission are appropriately qualified and competent to complete your Fire Risk Assessment in accordance with UK fire safety legislation.
